Martha Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, reportedly used an upside-down flag as a distress signal on social media. The upside-down flag is a recognized sign of distress in some contexts. Martha-Ann reportedly used this as a symbol of distress during the time of the 2020 United States Presidential elections and its aftermath. However, Justice Alito himself has not publicly commented on his wife’s actions or political views.
